Welcome to JayPo’s Penalty Boxed Lunch where we explore food from around the country! This week’s 12th official entry comes from Wisconsin who you can’t have anything more synonymous than a hearty bratwurst on a bun.
Food History!
Popularly referred to as a “brat” here in the good ol’ US of A, as its full name implies, have heavy German influence and became popular from immigrants who settled in the upper mid-west. Wisconsin’s particular call to fame is simmering the brat in beer with onions and serving it on a long roll. Wisconsin apparently has the “largest bratwurst festival” in the world every year, so they know what they are talking about.
